Great article on Copper as a Fungicide/Biocide

[simon_grow]

Here is a great article I found that discusses the use of Copper as a Fungicide/Biocide. It talks about the different Copper formulations and gives the pros and cons.

Please feel free to post comments, additional articles regarding use of fungicides or personal experiences using the various Copper products out there.

I am personally considering the purchase of Magnabon CS2005 but it is extremely expensive and I am looking for an alternative that might have similar systemic activity.

Copper Sulphate effects on Bees

[savemejebus]

I purchased Nordox a few months ago based on someone's recommendation. Not entirely sure how much I should be using per gallon though. I've been using around 1 TBSP for a 3 gallon container.

Copper sulphate its the most common pesticide that people spray here.I use Bordeaux mix 10 grains for 10 litters of water.Lately i treated somme pecan seeds that had a lot of mold and its good but not better than chammomille tea.The mold is still growing even after copper treatment.

I use 1 tbs per gallon.
